A major step toward simpler drug development has been taken at the University of Gothenburg. In a new study, researchers have developed stable boron-fluorine compounds that make it possible to ...

Hexagonal boron nitride has a layered crystalline structure in a hexagonal lattice arrangement composed of alternating boron and nitrogen atoms held together by strong covalent bonds. This structure ...

Chemical compounds based on the element boron are central tools in modern chemistry and are used, among other things, to build drugs, advanced materials, and molecules for medical diagnostics. Some ...

Chemists and biologists have successfully demonstrated that specially synthesized boron compounds are readily accepted in biologically active enzymes, a move that, they say, is a proof of concept that ...

The search for new pharmaceutical drugs by medicinal chemists relies on the synthesis of diverse compound libraries for biological testing. Of the reactions used for this purpose, those involving ...

Chemists from ETH Zurich have found a way to produce poorly soluble proteins by caging a uniquely reactive boron compound.

Boron nitride (BN) is a chemically and thermally resistant compound composed of equal parts nitrogen and boron. It comes as a powder or a solid and shares structural and electronic similarities with ...

This news release is available in German. FRANKFURT. Major advances in the field of organic electronics are currently revolutionising previously silicon-dominated semiconductor technology. Customised ...
